Cruelty-Free April Favorites: Organix, Equate + Real Techniques

If I summed up this product in word it would be “WoW!”. I have thick, curly {and now color-treated} hair + it’s a pain to keep moisturized until I started using this oil. I usually put an oil mix on it at night {when I remember} + the weather down here is so funky that when I forget I always regret it.
This oil moisturizes {equally, no greasy roots!} from my roots to the ends + my hair carries shine + moisture well into the next day. I use it in the shower after conditioning + style using the curly girl method {fingers}. I get perfect results every single time 🙂

Skin: Equate

No matter how much I wash my face the mascara just doesn’t come off all the way + I end up with the not sexy at all slept in makeup look. I hate that look. I grabbed these wipes to try out + struck gold. They are inexpensive {40 sheets/pack} + all of my eye makeup comes off on the wipe instead of my sheets. The package does read “Dissolves all traces of makeup. Removes waterproof mascara.” so it looks like they held their word on that bit of advertisement. Also these are alcohol + oil-free {so important}.

Makeup Tools: Real Techniques Makeup Brushes

I’m such a fan of these brushes. My latest obsession is the powder brush + the expert face brush. The expert face brush is for applying liquid/cream foundations + I use it probably at least twice a week. The powder brush is my universal brush. I use it on almost all of my powders {including pressed}.

What I love about both of these brushes is they don’t take makeup off + they pickup product well…nothing worse than brushes that waste product + make a total mess everywhere.

Hello

A Pennsylvania native, I moved to South Florida shortly after graduating high school and it kind of just stuck like very sticky glue. I met my husband couple of years later and we've resided in the Sunshine State since. We're both northerners at heart - he is from Toronto, Ontario - but I don't think we're quite prepared to deal with the freezing winters just yet. In 2015 we relocated to Central Florida and we're enjoying the pace of things so far - including some cooler weather. We have 3 terribly clever kiddos and about 20 fish, in a very large tank - because I'm not above saying we are not ready for anything that requires a leash or litter box!
